1 ESA EASTERN BRANCH COMMITTEES The following is a list of the Entomological Society of America Eastern Branch officers, Executive, Standing and Ad Hoc Committees and their chairs, and ESA Standing Committees with representatives from the Eastern Branch. The ESA Eastern Branch includes Society members from (in the United States) Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and (in Canada) New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario (east of 80 longitude), Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. The Branch depends upon volunteers to perform the critical functions that keep our Branch and Society active and productive. Without the participation of members in these committees we would be unable to provide quality service to the Society and programming for our annual meeting.
